Basketball Update

13th March 2017Q K

On Friday 10th March, 17 QK Basketball Academy Students traveled to Worcester University for a educational experience on campus.

It was a great day and i’m sure they all got a lot out of the trip. For some it was inspirational and motivational and for the others it was a bit of an eye opener of what’s to come in the future.

Here are some quotes about their experience:

“My experience at Worcester University was very inspiring and I learnt a lot. I now have a good idea of what I want to do in the future.”  Warren  Year 9

“During the day at Worcester University, it taught me how important universities are and how many opportunities it can give you. I had a great experience, the whole day was worth the long journey but I would like to go back. As a group I don’t think anyone had a bad time.”

“Looking forward to going to Worcester University”  Omar  Year 11

“The trip to Worcester University was a great experience for me as it allowed me to gain knowledge on different opportunities for me to further my basketball career after sixth form and think about my different options of universities.”  Dwayne Year 12

Here are some pictures of our day.
